George Kranz - Din Daa Daa (Trommeltanz)

This song Din Daa Daa - George Kranz was a number one Billboard Hot Club Play in 1984. Released in 1983 it has been and still being sampled. The group M|A|R|R|S sampled it in Pump Up The Volume in 1987. Fast forward to 2005 and the Ying Yang Twins used it in their hip hop smash Shake. I am sure this German singer / percussionist is happy about the royalties especially since it was also used in an Xbox 360 commercial as well.
